Welcome<\/h2>\n

The Division of Neonatology provides essential medical services to premature and critically ill infants from throughout South Texas. Simultaneously, we advance the field of neonatal-perinatal medicine through our dedication to research and education. Our highly experienced team of neonatologists and advanced practice providers provide life-saving care in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at University Health Women\u2019s and Children\u2019s Hospital where we manage a comprehensive variety of complex medical conditions including respiratory distress, infections, and congenital anomalies.<\/p>\n

As part of the UTHealth\/University Hospital system, the division is heavily involved in training medical students, advanced practice providers, residents, and fellows, offering them hands-on experience in a supervised environment. Research within the division focuses on predicting and improving outcomes for vulnerable newborns, exploring areas such as neonatal nutrition, neurodevelopment, and innovations in cardiac and respiratory care. Our commitment to patient care, education, and research ensures that the latest scientific discoveries are quickly translated into improved care for our most fragile patients.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”4898″ onclick=”custom_link” link=”https:\/\/lsom.uthscsa.edu\/pediatrics\/divisions\/neonatology\/education\/pediatric-neonatology-fellowship\/”][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n
